Snow!

We woke up to snow mixed with rain this morning. That turned to rain for a while. Then more snow mixed with rain. All morning it's gone back and forth but there's been constant precipitation. A good day to stay indoors by the fire. I'm going to make a puff pancake for lunch, and bacon. Yum!

I bought my used Pfaff 2124 over two years ago but had never taken the time to figure out the embroidery functions. Decided to bring the whole kit-and-kaboodle with us this week and have had fun figuring out how to do designs and fonts. Ivan, with WAY more patience than me, has taken the lead on this and figured out how to do not just individual letters but whole words. Had some issues with tension and crazy tangled bobbins but overall it's worked quite well. Looking forward to personalizing some items in the future.

Today is our last day of vacation. Tomorrow morning we pack up, clean house and head home. It's been a good week and I'm thankful we had the opportunity to get away.

Saturday is a big, all-day soccer tournament in Cordoba sponsored by some evangelical churches. Last year over 1000 kids participated and our boys are quite excited about going this year. No idea how many we'll be taking but pretty sure we'll need some extra parents to go along and help with transportation. Nothing like jumping back into work with an all-day event :) Tomorrow once we get home I'll be busy assembling scads of sandwiches and mixing bottles and bottles of Tang for Saturday. We don't have Kool-Aid here but Tang products are virtually the same, with a wide variety of flavors. My favorite is mango, which tastes more like passion fruit but I'm not going to quibble over the flavor names.
